Chapter 142 Looking For The Dragon Beast’S Lair
After the skill-transfer ceremony was over, Xiwei remembered that he still had one more task to complete, which was to take away the treasure of the poor dragon beast.
Basically, the value of this dragon beast has been fully utilized.
The dragon's blood is used to strengthen the player, and the sub-dragon meat is thrown to the kitchen of Winter Castle to be made into dried meat for easy storage. The materials on the body are also made into equipment by the system, waiting for the right time to be used to cut the player's leeks.
It just so happened that the player still needed to kill a first-level monster alone to complete the promotion, so Xiwei simply issued a new task to the player:
[Counterattack on Dusk Forest]
[Task description: The warcraft in the Dusk Forest attacked Winter City, which made the Eagle Lord very angry, so he decided to lead the army to clear the Dusk Forest]
[Task limit: no limit]
[Task rewards: experience points, Warcraft cores, etc.]
[Task accepted (default)]
"There's another mission!"
"66666, can't stop at all!"
The players who had just calmed down became excited again. Yan Shuang, the most handsome man, carried the newly made sword and shouted excitedly:
"Niupai, the lord brother is as productive as a sow!"
As soon as the words fell, the players fell silent for an instant. They all turned their heads and looked at Yan Shuang, the most handsome man, with strange eyes.
"Uh... you watch me do it..."
Before Yan Shuang finished speaking, he found a system prompt bar popping up in front of his eyes:
[Eagle Lord’s favorability towards you -80]
[Current favorability -80 (hostile)]
He was slightly startled, and then he saw a long blood bar unfolding on the head of the Eagle Lord...
…
A moment later, Yan Shuang, the most handsome man, lay on the resurrection point with a big sword stuck in his body, entering the death countdown for the seventh time.
[Eagle Lord’s favorability towards you +10]
[Current favorability -10 (cold)]
Xiwei pulled out the sword and shook off the blood, put it back on his back, feeling much more comfortable, turned around, and ordered the players around him who were holding back their smiles:
"Then follow me into the Dusk Forest now."
…
Players who returned to the Dusk Forest found that the forest had become devastated. A large number of trees collapsed, the ground was plowed open by giant monsters, and the sides of a stream were covered with fish and shrimp carcasses.
There are still many monsters escaping around. These monsters are frightened after being slaughtered by humans without the help of dragons.
The players were also in a hurry to be promoted at this moment, so they all dispersed to look for easy-to-kill first-level monsters for promotion tasks.
Xiwei took Clemont to follow the footsteps of the Warcraft. Although Saraken could easily cause forest fires, Xiwei let him continue to guard the house.
The system did not tell him the specific location of the Yalong's lair. Xiwei could only rely on following the clues to determine a rough location, and then find it based on experience.
Dragon beasts do not have the perverted resistance of giant dragons and cannot rely on lava or poisonous swamps to protect themselves. Therefore, for the sake of safety, they generally like to build their nests on high cliffs, and they will try their best to hide their nests.
Some players, such as Yan Shuangjushuai and Bu Shiren, also noticed Xiwei's movements. After a little thought, they followed Xiwei closely.
"What do you think Lord Eagle is planning to do?"
He casually glanced at the huge footprints on the ground, and analyzed as he walked: "I speculate that the Eagle Lord should be looking for the nest of the sub-dragon. Generally, such dragon-like creatures will inherit the dragon's habit of collecting treasures, so their There’s a good chance there’s something good in the lair.”
"Then if we find the nest first, wouldn't the treasure be ours?"
Yan Shuang, the most handsome man, had a surprised look on his face and his eyes shone.
"You think too much……"
One player sneered: "According to imperial law, every plant, tree, and ant in the entire Eagle Territory belongs to him. Even the farmers' land and houses are only on lease, and the lord can take them back at any time."
"You are robbing the Eagle Lord of treasures, do you want to be killed and retired?"
Yan Shuang, the most handsome man, slowed down after hearing this, and suddenly lost interest. He complained: "Then why should we follow him? There is no benefit at all. We might as well hurry up and advance."
"That's not necessarily the case." He said quietly and carefully observed the environment at the foot of the mountain. The Eagle Lords in front had also stopped and were exploring around.
"If we find the nest first and then tell the lord the location, we will most likely get a reward."
Yan Shuang, the most handsome man, became excited when he heard this and said: "Indeed, this should also be a hidden mission. As expected of you, you are not a human being. Your sense of game is almost half as good as mine."
He curled his lips and ignored him.
The few players who followed around looked excited when they heard this, and began to look around, hoping to find the dragon's nest as soon as possible.
Xi Wei and Clemont were exploring along the mountain wall at this time.
The footprints of the dragon beast began to appear near here, so its lair is probably on the cliff in this area, and the cliff must not be too high. After all, the dragon beast cannot fly at all.
But Wu Shi is different from Xiwei. He is a player who has just entered the game and has no stereotypes about the creatures in the game.
Therefore, he did not just focus on the cliff like Xiwei, but carefully observed the first footprints of the dragon beast.
"I don't know if you have noticed, but this footprint is heavier than the previous footprints." He squatted on the ground and said to the surrounding players.
"This is normal. After all, this thing may live on the cliff, and the footprints it will step on if it jumps off must be heavy." A player observed the nearby cliff and said nonchalantly.
"Indeed, but the footprints are a bit too regular. It stands to reason that if such a large body fell from a height, it should have scratches or cracks on the ground."
"But now there are no such traces. This footprint looks like it was made deliberately." He touched his chin and speculated:
"It is very likely that it deliberately forged the footprints that fell from a high place in order to protect its lair. However, due to its limited intelligence, the forged traces are more deliberate, so its lair is probably not on the cliff, but on the ground."
While talking, he came to a mountain wall without doing anything. Because the rock on the mountain wall was relatively hard, it was difficult to leave traces on it, but he still found some scratches with his sharp eyes.
These traces are almost impossible to find if you don't look at them carefully and think about them.
It is hard to imagine that such a large dragon beast can actually grab the rocks on the mountain wall and move forward, but even so, it is absolutely impossible for it to run on the mountain wall for too long.
"Follow me," he greeted the players indifferently, and then took the lead and followed the vague scratches on the mountain wall.
The players didn't know what was going on, but seeing how confident he was in doing things, they subconsciously followed him.
Soon, without doing anything, he followed the scratches and came to a sunken mountain wall. This mountain wall was very hidden, showing a trapezoid shape and sloping inward. There was a cliff above and surrounded by bushes. It would have been almost impossible to climb if not for following the scratches. Discover.
He looked at several huge rocks deliberately stacked together under the mountain wall, and said with a smile: "I think I have found the dragon beast's lair."
…
Xiwei never expected that this dragon beast named Cassim would be so stubborn that it would actually build its lair underground.
Is this really Yalong?
It's simply a shame, okay, is it worthy of the dragon's blood flowing in your body?
What's even more outrageous is that this bitch just built his lair underground. When he got out of the lair, he walked up the rock wall instead of the ground. He also pulled a few rocks to block the entrance of the cave. Finally, he even faked the footprints of jumping down from a high place.
To be honest, if Cassim hadn't come out looking for death himself, Xiwei might not have discovered this dragon beast hidden in the Dusk Forest until his death.
At the same time, Xiwei also noticed the player Wu Dorenshi.
His observation skills are so careful and his mind works so fast. He is a real talent.
In this case, Xiwei is not a stingy person, so he should reward this hero well.
He nodded appreciatively at the inhumane thing, with a smile on his face and praised happily: "You are good!"
Then he took Clemon and turned around and entered the dragon beast's lair that had been dug.
At this time, a system prompt like this popped up in the non-human field of view:
[Eagle Lord’s favorability towards you +30]
[Current favorability level 30 (appreciation)]
Is this the end?
The surrounding players looked at each other.
What about the promised reward? That's it? This Eagle Lord is too stingy...
They all complained about the inaction.
He seemed to find it difficult to accept this as he looked expressionless on the surface.
But in fact, he didn't think so in his heart.
In a game like this where NPCs are extremely intelligent, sometimes an increase in favorability is the best reward.
This may bring him unexpected surprises in the future.
